We don't know where Samaale died, we don't have his remains. Nobody will ever now.

However, I use him as the symbolic ancestor of the clade most frequent/modal in Somalis considering that the Somali ethnicity is named after him.

The primary division is between the non-Sab and the Sab. Sab are still, though, ultimately of the same ancestral stock as other Somalis. I demonstrate this here on my Land of Punt blog.

Actually, there's an even more interesting cleavage in the archaeological record among the ancient Cushites. The Eastern Cushites (who are immediately ancestral to Somalis, Afars, etc.) are more closely related to other early Afro-Asiatic groups inhabiting the Nile Valley (such as the predynastic Egyptians of Naqada and the C-Group peoples of Lower Nubia/Northern Sudan) than they are to the Southern Cushites. This suggests that the Eastern Cushites moved from the Nile Valley into the Horn more recently than the now vanished Southern Cushites. The downstream V32 clade also strongly points to this.
